Keith Smart will not be back as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors.
The team will not pick up its team option on his contract for the 2011-12 season. Matt Steinmetz of Comcast SportsNet Bay Area was the first to report Smart would not be retained.
Smart led the Warriors to a 36-46 record in his first season as head coach. He replaced Don Nelson in late September and had been an assistant under Nelson for four previous seasons.
